Learn Iron Maidens Run to the Hills Guitar Riffs
Posted by Metal Guitar Riffs in Greatest Guitar Riffs on July 11th, 2010
This is part one of a 2 part lesson which covers all the guitar riffs in Run to the Hills. I was brought up on Maiden and when I bought my first guitar (aged just 11) I desperately tried to learn all their tracks. If only the internet had been round in those days to help.
These videos are high quality and providing you are at the right level they should really help you learn the main parts to this song. Next part of this lesson to follow tomorrow.

The Black Sabbath fast riff
Posted by Metal Guitar Riffs in Cool Guitar Riffs on July 7th, 2010
Not for the faint hearted, this fast and furious metal guitar riff requires nimble fingers but is surely one of the most impressive pieces of heavy guitar both visually and aurally. If you find the other stuff easy then this is one to add to your arsenal.

Learn the riff to Black Sabbath’s Iron Man
Posted by Metal Guitar Riffs in Greatest Guitar Riffs on July 3rd, 2010
This has been called the greatest metal riff of all time and therefore is a must for your repertoire. It’s a simple riff based on power chords so shouldn’t take you long to pick up. Just concentrate on making it sound clean as these big distorted power chords can sound messy if not played cleanly and neatly.

Black Sabbath’s Black Sabbath – The opening riff
Posted by Metal Guitar Riffs in Easy Metal Riffs on July 2nd, 2010
This is the opening riff from the metal song Black Sabbath off one of “the original” metal albums, Black Sabbath, by the metal band Black Sabbath! Everyone knows it so it’s one to make friends and influence people with! It’s a nice simple riff for you novices. Plenty of distortion is a must to get the truly heavy metal sound!

Enter Sandman Intro Riff
Posted by Metal Guitar Riffs in Easy Metal Riffs, Greatest Guitar Riffs on May 24th, 2010
When I was as old as this kid I was probably learning the exact same guitar riff (was the Black Album out 20 years ago?), so in my book that makes him the best person to teach you. He actually teaches it really well, doesn’t mess about and make it too long but keeps everything clear.
This Metallica intro riff is a classic as should be one of the first riffs for any self respecting metal guitarist to learn!

Smoke On The Water Riff lesson
Posted by Metal Guitar Riffs in Classic Rock Riffs, Easy Metal Riffs, Greatest Guitar Riffs on May 24th, 2010
Where better to start than Smoke on the Water? An easy riff, ideal for beginners. I’ve always used this as a starting point when teaching other people guitar. Most people play the first (power) chord as strings 3 and 4 open as opposed to the way he shows it but either way gives you the correct sound. He also give a little bit of info in inverted power chords!
